There were 239 passengers and crew aboard. "Grateful this step is finally being officially taken", he said in a text message. Families were told of Ocean Infinity's offer in March, said Grace Nathan, a lawyer whose mother was on the flight.

Her first romantic lead came in 1934's "La crise est finie", and Litvak's historical drama "Mayerling" was an worldwide hit and established her credentials as a serious actress together with Nicolas Farkas' "Port-Arthur".

She even made a notorious propaganda visit to Berlin in 1942, although she later insisted she exclusively wanted to visit her second husband, who was imprisoned there. The next year Darrieux returned to Hollywood to star in the excellent spy thriller "5 Fingers" alongside James Mason.

She starred the next year in the noted "The Red and the Black" with Gerard Philippe, then appeared in "Lady Chatterley's Lover". American critics praised both her beauty and her performance.

In 1961 Darrieux travelled to England to act in The Greengage Summer with Kenneth More and Susannah York. She had a successful career revival in later life with her role in The Young Girls of Rochefort by Jacques Demy.

During the 1960s Darrieux did stage work and was a concert singer in addition to appearing in a steady stream of French films. At one point, her name appeared on a French Resistance death list for alleged collaboration.

She had only two Broadway credits, but one was a doozy.

Darrieux also claimed that family members, including a brother, had been threatened with deportation by the Nazis running Continental, who were ultimately working for Hitler's propaganda chief Josef Goebbels. If Ms. Darrieux - who was beloved by her countrymen as D.D. - had a career prime, it was the 1950s, in which she typified the desirable European married woman. In 1985 she was awarded the Honorary César, France's top cinema recognition.
